We love our Lance 1685, the next model up from the 1575. We looked at both because we tow with a 2006 Toyota 4 Runner. There were features we liked with both trailers, but if you're planning a trip to Alaska, personally I'd want the two axles on the 1685 - the 1575 only has one axle. Also, we thought the 1685 had significantly more storage and 45 gallon black/fresh/gray water tanks was significantly more capacity than the 26 gallon tanks for all on the 1575. Oh, and don't forget the dual pane "real" windows with the 4 Season package in the 1685, different than the 1575. These were the biggest criteria for us picking between the two.
Also - as mentioned above, you should seriously think about asking on the Lance Owners ForumLance Owners Forum -- here's the link.
P.S. So far so good with the 4 Runner (ours is a 6 cyl unfortunately but we have a Fastway E-2 WDH which has been wonderful. We've towed and camped 4,000 miles from Illinois down the US East Coast to Florida - getting ready to leave March 17 for a 5,000+ adventure from Florida to SW Utah (4 Corners) and back to Illinois... hopefully the 4 Runner is up to it!
